The IPO in Jeans

The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra is dedicated to inspiring young audiences through innovative educational programs and special concert series.In keeping with this effort, in 1997 the Orchestra launched an exciting series, formerly known as Concerts in Denim, which has served as a pioneer model for orchestras around the world.This annual series is comprised of 6 concerts presented in an open, informal format to bring a greater intimacy between the musicians and audience members. The evening festivities include a musical ensemble in the lobby both pre-and-post concert, and beer “on the house”.

American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra are also invited to make a sponsorship gift in support of our organization’s commitment to broaden the outreach of our constituency and thereby expand the community for the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.

The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra’s touring engagements, specifically in North America and Canada, are of fundamental importance to American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and provide exceptional opportunities to promote this preeminent orchestra.It becomes even more essential to carry forward the spirit and visibility of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra when the orchestra is not performing in our cities.

The Israel Philharmonic has always been there, woven from the start into the rough cloth that is a nation.
